Don't get into a frenzy bidding on this.

I don't want you boys tripping over each other bidding on this wonderful piece of German military history over on ebay.

It is listed as an "Original Vintage German Prussian Spiked Picklehaube Helmet w/ Original Liner.
Now you older collectors need to hold back and let the youngsters have a chance at this

It's like that old TV show-"Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous"...how discouraging, to see fantastic things that you Know you'll Never be able to afford or own.....sigh....

obviously fake. they stopped fitting spikes with the M40 pattern helmet, April 1940 if I am not mistaken.

No!! Say it isn't so!! But...it's probably just as well anyway...I mean, who could ever Hope to afford such a thing anyway....

How ridiculous.........!

**meyle77** · 04-19-2012, 02:50 AM

It was made for submarine crew stationed off the east coast of Patagonia in may of 1941

Proof the name M42 is wrong....reclassify as M18 ceremonial

**AMTG** · 04-19-2012, 03:14 AM

Wow...it says a detachable spike......maybe for those occasions where a spike will just not be appropriate!!!

And there's 12 bids!!!!!

I say based on what that NSDAP cap I posted a while back went for...hmmm.....(Thinking)....(Thinking) I say about $300-500 USD. Thats just a guess of course since I have not seen another one for sale.
